Dark-energy constraints with ALMA polarization measurements Synergies with CMB experiments

چکیده
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) physics can be used to constrain the dark energy dynamics: B modes of the polarization of the diffuse CMB emission as well as the polarized signal towards clusters of galaxies are sensitive to the Hubble expansion rate and thus the dark energy abundance in the early stage of cosmic acceleration. The first effect is sourced by gravitational lensing of large scale cosmic structures, the second is due to scattering of the primary CMB temperature anisotropy quadrupole by free electrons in cluster plasma. We are investigating the capabilities of ALMA to detect these effects and constrain the highredshift dark energy abundance through measurements of sub-arcminute CMB anisotropies.

Constraining Dark Matter annihilation cross-sections with the Cosmic Microwave Background
The injection of secondary particles produced by dark annihilation around redshift ∼ 1000 would inevitably affect the process of recombination, leaving an imprint on cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies. We show that the most recent CMB measurements provided by the WMAP satellite mission and the ACT telescope place interesting constraints on DM self-annihi...
متن کامل3D weak gravitational lensing of the CMB and galaxies
In this paper, we present a power spectrum formalism that combines the full 3D information from the galaxy ellipticity field, with information from the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We include in this approach galaxy cosmic shear and galaxy intrinsic alignments, CMB deflection, CMB temperature, and CMB polarization data; including the interdatum power spectra between all quantities. We app...

متن کاملPolarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) studies underpin our understanding of the universe and its history. Until recently, we have relied principally on CMB temperature observations to build our standard cosmological model, but today the field forges ahead into its next frontier – CMB polarization anistropy. Polarization measurements will furnish fresh and independent information on the primordial d...
متن کاملProbing Dark Energy with the Cmb: Projected Constraints from Map and Planck
We investigate the accuracy attainable by forthcoming space-based observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropy in constraining the dark energy density parameter ΩQ and equation of state wQ = pQ/ρQ. Despite degeneracies among parameters, it is possible for high precision observations such as those from MAP and Planck to provide interesting informa...
